‘High Impact’ Storm System to Arrive in GTA Overnight, Bringing Freezing Rain, Snow to Toronto

A low-pressure system will bring 10–15 cm of snow and 2–5 mm of ice causing hazardous travel, near-zero visibility, and possible property damage, Environment Canada said.

  • On Wednesday, Environment Canada issued a yellow-level winter-storm watch for Newmarket, Georgina and Northern York Region, warning of hazardous conditions from morning through evening.
  • A low-pressure system is expected to bring snow and freezing rain to Ontario, but system track uncertainty means snowfall amounts and affected areas could change.
  • Models show several hours of freezing rain with 2 to 5 mm of ice; forecasts call for 10 to 15 cm of snow and 15 to 25 mm of rainfall.
  • Motorists and pedestrians face difficult travel conditions as roads and walkways may be hard to navigate, travel delays are possible, and local utilities may experience outages.
  • Warnings may be issued as the system approaches, so residents should continue monitoring Environment Canada alerts and forecasts and report severe weather via email or X using #ONStorm.
